AGENUINE ONLY DIREC - eee raag an HENDERSON &CO., NEW: ¥ 
CARROT. 
HENDERSON'S NEW YORK MARKET has more good points 
than any other existing sort. The color is bright orange and most 
attractive. It has the minimum of core, and is crisp, tender and 
sweet. It is one of the heaviest cropping varieties and of sym- 
metrical shape and handsome appearance, an admirable variety 
to bunch for market, as well as being unexcelled for private use.

vicinity. It attains only a medium size, but is admira- 
bly adapted to bunching, and in private gar- 
densis one of the best varie-

HENDERSON’S INTERMEDIATE. This is certainly the best 
main crop carrot. Our ¢ut is no flattering representation, but 
shows it as we have seen it in enormous quantities, and we 
strongly advise our customers to plant it. It is one of the most 
uniform in shape that we know, and where the soil is favorable 
it will always grow clean and free from side roots. The core is 
small and very tender, and there is no indication of woody 
character at any stage of its growth. It is also entirely free 
from any coarse, rank flavor so common with many sorts. 
For private purposes it is ideal, and its yielding capacity is 
enormous, which, with its handsome color and fine appearance, 
makes it invaluable to truckers. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz.,

DANVERS. (Half Long.) A handsome, cylindrical-shaped carrot 
of good size and stump-rooted. It is of a rich, dark orange 
color, grows to a large size, is smooth, and the flesh very 
close in texture, with little core. It is a first-class carrot 
for all soils, and it is claimed that under good cultivation it 
will yield the greatest weight per acre with the smallest length 
of root of any now grown. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c.

LONG ORANGE IMPROVED. One of the most desirable for 
either garden or field culture. It grows to a large size, fair 
specimens averaging twelve inches in length, and three inches 
diameter at the top. All who have cattle should raise a surplus 
of this carrot for feeding milch cows during winter. Itincreases 
the flow of milk and imparts to the butter adelicious flavor anda 
rich golden color. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. 02z., 25c. 14 1b., 70ce. lb. 
CHANTENAY HALF LONG SCARLET. A stump-rooted 
variety, somewhat resembling the well-known Nantes Carrot, 
but having a larger shoulder and being much more productive.

OXHEART, OR GUERANDE. A French variety of recent intro- 
duction and a decided acquisition. It is intermediate between. 
Half Long and Horn varieties and perfectly distinct. The shape 
is nearly oval and the color and quality all that can be desired. 
(See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. 0z., 25c. 14 Ib., 80e. lb. 
EARLY FRENCH FORCING. The earliest variety and one 
largely grown for forcing purposes. It makes a small, almost 
globe-shaped root of an orange red color. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 
15ce. 02z., 30c. 14 lb., $1.00 lb. 
EARLY SCARLET HORN. Favorite for early crop, butnot large. 
Sold largely in New York markets bunched. It matures eight to 
ten days earlier than the Long Orange, and is sometimes used 
for forcing. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. 14 lb., 80e. lb. 
EARLY HALF LONG SCARLET CARENTAN. Theskinis ' 
smooth, flesh red, and without any core or heart. Itis excellent 
for forcing, and for fine quality and perfect shape can hardly be 
surpassed. 5c. pkt., 10e. oz., 25c. 14 Ib., 80e. lb. 
EARLY HALF LONG SCARLET. (Pointed-rooted.) A medium 
early sort of great value. It is most useful in the younger state, 
either in soups or cooked whole, and is much used for bunching. 
The tops are very small, which permits close planting. 5ce. pkt., 
10c. oz., 25ce. 14 lb., 80ce. Ib. 
LARGE WHITE BELGIAN. The lower part of the root is 
white, that growing above ground and exposed to the air being 
green. A very heavy cropper and should be largely grown for 
feeding to stock. 5c. pkt., 10c. o2z., 20c. 14 Ib., 50c. lb.

respect except in color. 5c. pkt., 10¢. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 50c. Ib.
